We had our first event of the year which was the “PCA Quiz Night”. It was very well attended with everyone enjoying themselves. It was a very close finish with only a couple of points between first and second, so it shows how important to play your joker at the right time. We have another Quiz Night planned in November so if you would like to test your knowledge keep your eyes open for information later in the year. The Panfield Plodders have had two walks this year. The first was to Sailing Airfield, the day started with a bit of rough weather but turned into a nice bright but chilly afternoon. They stopped at the Airfield Café (which also has a bar) and had lunch which included bacon baps to homemade soup before returning. The next walk was to Notley Discovery Centre, it started windy but turned into a very pleasant sunny day. The Discovery Centre also has a Café so we all stopped for a fresh hot Panini. The next walk is on Sunday 14th April to the Café on the Flitchway at Rayne. I’m sure you have noticed by now that there is a theme around our walks which is “food”. So come and enjoy the countryside around Panfield and for more info follow them on their Facebook page “Panfield Plodders”., As we enter spring we will be holding our annual Garage Sale which is on Saturday 18th May. It really is a good time to have a spring clean and a great opportunity to chat with friends and neighbours by opening up your garage, this year we will not have a royal wedding to contend with, booking details will be available shortly. I have been talking about “Panfield Presents” (our own local cinema) for nearly a year now, it’s been an interesting journey with many twist and turns but we have finally received our grant. So keep a look out for our first showing probably in May. That just leaves me to wish you all a Happy Easter. Regards Danny - PCA Chair A lady goes into a dress shop and asks the assistant. “Could I try that dress on in the window?” “Of course, madam,” the assistant replies, “but we do have a changing room over there.” Page 3 Round About Panfield Footpaths Over the last few months a number of complaints have been made to the Parish Council about bicycles (and e-bikes) and other motorised devices using the local footpaths. Therefore I thought it useful to remind everyone what the rights and responsibilities are in using a footpath. Rights and responsibilities The County’s network of Public Rights of Way are protected in law and all members of the public have a right to their use and enjoyment. Legislation places certain duties and responsibilities on farmers and landowners in respect of Public Rights of Way that cross land within their ownership and control. Your Responsibilities as a user Be safe - plan ahead and take a map Leave gates and property as you find them Protect plants and animals, and take litter home Keep dogs under close control at all times and clear up after them Consider other people both using the path and those that live close to it Be mindful that the land you walk through is private and should be respected Know the limit of your rights, for example you cannot use a bicycle, E-bike or any other motorised device on a footpath Essex County Responsibilities Put signposts where paths leave a road Way mark path junctions Install and repair bridges over waterways Maintain the vegetation up growth on routes (except cross field paths where the landowner has a responsibility) so as not to cause an impassable obstruction Repair surfaces Work with landowners who must reinstate their cross field paths and keep them clear of crops Take enforcement action on any who fail to carry out their obligations in respect of Public Rights of Way. If you have noticed any issues with the footpath system you can report them via Essex County interactive PROW website and for a map of the footpaths around Panfield please go to the Panfield Community Association website. D Canning - Panfield P3 PROW Officer Q. Why shouldn’t you write with a broken pencil? A. Because it’s pointless.

Page 6 Round About Panfield Parish Council Proposed Development of Towerlands The Owners/Developers of Towerlands, held an exhibition, to gather views on their proposal for 570 new homes recently. They did not circulate their leaflet in Panfield, which appears to have caused concern to a number of residents. It seems to me that the Exhibition, besides being a PR exercise, was to gauge opinion and reaction, prior to submitting an application to BDC. Feedback was sought; no doubt to pre-empt the negative points of the plan, in an attempt to answer them in the actual application. Serious concern was voiced, that the local road infrastructure could not cope with the additional volume of vehicles. Residents should also note that BDC continues to support Panfield Parish Council’s argument, that there should not be any development within our Parish, and this proposal stops at the Parish boundary. Thistledown Pond We have now received the report from Essex Wildlife Trust following their survey of Thistledown pond. The report Concludes: “The pond appears to have failed, and so will probably become a valuable wetland which would support a range of wetland flora and fauna. The bulrushes will certainly thrive; they spread by rhizomes and grow well in relatively shallow water. It is a much maligned species, but is actually a very important habitat” Essex Wildlife Trust recommends that we leave the area alone, and allow nature to take its course.
